RAISE UP THE STONES



notice the granary behind there. Don't want to blow the hammers if I lose the coin flip

barb warrior approaches. I don't think they're programmed to enter territory yet, but in any case, have a warrior playing zone and another being built out of overflow



Settling city 3 next turn

Grats! How many chops went into Henge?

[dtay]

2 chops, worker whip overflow for 70 hammers, 10 more from excess overflow + base production for 80 base hammers, 120 with ind.

[dtay]

Oracle would've come out much the same, but I chop an extra forest. Instead I put 4t into a cottage down south.

[GermanJoey]

Only 2 chops for Henge? Nice!

[dtay]

Yeah. Trying to think how I'm going to actually derive benefit from the border pops though. I don't think I really need it in a pre-AH timeframe, and I'm hesitant to map out too much what to do post-AH cause I want to settle for horses ASAP (chariots, so much better than axes/spears for zone D against barbs).

Frankly, the main benefit I'm getting in the nearterm is also anti-barb: 20% defense and early warning system from border pops.

It'll help out east though when I settle that, plenty of stuff that I would like to settle for 2nd ring. How it affects dot map to the west depends on how close ichabod + ??? are.

I have some rocks



Gonna leave this lion alive until its deletion so it can fog-bust for me :P




Look at that GNP (read: culture)



Overview shot, 3rd city founded, backline (somewhat unnecessarily) blocked off. No scouting ichabod!

[dtay]

Come on REM!! Don't make us wait 12 hours!!! (not actually annoyed, just impatient)

[dtay]

I also note with amusement I am both quasi-organized (barely) and quasi-cre now. Who needs real traits? Just borrow pieces of all of them!

Need old colossus to be quasi-Fin, blargh. Give me back old Colossus!

Anyone want a tier list? People love tier lists right?
